Ford GoBike System Data Exploration

Investigation Overview¶

In this investigation, I want to look at the features in a Ford GoBike Dataset for the San Francisco Bay and draw some meaningful insights from them. The main Focus will be on : duration of trip [sec], Location of bike station, Days of the week e.t.c

Dataset Overview¶

The data set includes information about individual rides made in a bike-sharing system covering the greater San Francisco Bay area. It contains 16 features and well over 150,000 observations. The Dataset is avaliable for download here.

Distribution of Duration [sec]¶

Duration of bike trips take up very large range of values, from about 60 seconds and up to about 84,500 seconds. Plotted on a scale, we can see the Right-Skewed Distribution of duration of bike trips.

NB: This is done with the exclusion of some extreme outliers

Distribution of Member birth year¶

More bike riders were born in 1988 than in any other year in our Dataset, and a good number of bike riders were born between 1980 - 1996

Day of the week bikers spent the highest time [sec]¶

With a average time of 858 Seconds which is approximately 14 minutes, Bike riders in our dataset spent more time on the average riding on Sundays

Location of Bike Stations in San Francisco¶

Finally, A scatter mapbox visualization using our location columns to show the locations of the bike stations on the map of San Francisco.

We can clearly see our Bike stations around the Bay Area of San Francisco as indicated by the Dataset.
